ComputerCop is insecure and can give info to hackers

There is a program that some law enforcement agencies  have given to families across the country

It is called ComputerCOP.  The EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) has reviewed and analyzed the program, and unfortunately it consists of a keylogger and transmits data unencrypted across the Internet.

if someone enters a credit card or password username combinations, then they get no security even when they are on SSL websites.  So you may think you are secure, but you are not.

Please uninstall this software and work on getting different software if you are looking for security software.

The law enforcement  that has adopted this software without doing due diligence:  Suffolk County NY,  Loudoun county VA,

A more complete list is at EFF website  (I pointed to the Missouri section, but you can find the rest  on the same page)
